Recipe Tips
Use pistachio butter for the best flavor – It gives a rich, creamy texture and deeper pistachio taste compared to just chopped nuts.
Add almond extract sparingly – A drop or two enhances the pistachio flavor without overpowering it.
Adjust sweetness to taste – Start with 1 tbsp of maple syrup, then add more in the morning if needed.
Stir well before chilling – Make sure the oats, chia seeds, and nut butter are evenly mixed to avoid clumps.
Top just before serving – Add chopped pistachios and fruit in the morning to keep the texture fresh and crunchy.
